Irobot's latest automatic robot vacuum cleaner "Rumba 800 series". This time, we reviewed the cleaning mechanism, which is the heart of it, and installed a new mechanism "AeroForce Cleaning System" that creates a strong suction force, which has been developed over 10 years. As a result, the suction power is dramatically improved to 5 times that of the conventional model.
The biggest innovation is that the cleaning ability is 1.5 times stronger than the existing Roomba, even though the rotating brush eliminates the brush that catches dirt, dust, and hair. This is especially good news for pet owners and those who live with long-haired women. This is because the existence of a vacuum cleaner brush is really a double-edged sword, and once pet hair and hair get entangled, it is troublesome to remove anyway. However, by making such maintenance easier, there is no doubt that the robot vacuum cleaner life will be even more comfortable.
As a new mechanism, the roller "AeroForce extractor" for scraping dust into the main body is a new rubber-like special material that combines rigidity and elasticity. These two "AeroForce extractors" hit the floor and float the garbage, rotating from the outside to the inside to scrape up the garbage.
